Do you think Enphase be willing to increase the VMax? That's what we do
here when we have 220V 3ph issues. As we are not US based, there is no UL
issue.
I have a project right now that Enphase is the best solution, but the
voltage would be 129v typically, so I would be unwilling to put in stock
units.
